Google Chrome is excellent at remembering your home address, phone number, and email. When you buy something online, it magically autofills the checkout form. However, if you are moving to a new password manager, or if you simply want a physical spreadsheet containing all your saved family addresses and contact information, Chrome doesn’t offer a visible “Export” button for this specific data.
While Chrome makes it easy to export passwords, your physical address data requires a different extraction method. You can safely trigger a hidden developer flag to export your entire autofill database into a clean, offline CSV spreadsheet file.
How to Safely Extract Chrome Saved Autofill Addresses
You must enable the hidden address export flag in Chrome’s experimental settings.
- Open the Google Chrome browser.
- Click inside the top URL address bar, carefully type the following exact text, and press Enter:
chrome://flags - You are now in the experimental developer menu. Click inside the search box and type: autofill
- Look for a flag explicitly labeled Enable Autofill Address Export (or similar, depending on your version).
- Change the drop-down menu on the right from Default to Enabled.
- Click the large blue Relaunch button at the bottom of the screen.
- Once Chrome restarts, click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner, select Settings, and click Autofill and passwords on the left.
- Click on Addresses and more.
- You will now see three tiny vertical dots next to the “Addresses” heading. Click them, and you will see a brand new Export addresses option.
Chrome will ask for your computer’s Windows or Mac login password to confirm your identity. It will then generate a Chrome Addresses.csv file. You can open this file in Excel to view a perfectly formatted database of every name, street, city, and phone number Chrome has ever saved.
